How to tie it

  1. Tie the hair loop, slide a rig ring onto the hooklink, then pass the hair through the ring.
  2. Thread the hook and knotless-knot it with the ring trapped on the shank opposite the barb.
  3. Steam a kicker on the eye.
  4. Loop to a swivel on a lead clip; 3oz flat pear.

Tips

  • Keep the hair short so the ring does the work.
